Bottom line

The Epson
Perfection V750-M Pro Scanner produces the best photo scans of any flatbed
scanner, reviewers say, especially when used in conjunction with the
time-consuming fluid mount system that helps disguise dust and scratches. However,
reviewers add that except for professional photographers, the high-cost of this
scanner makes it a questionable choice.

Scan quality

Top
quality for professional results. The Epson Perfection V750-M Pro is designed for professional
photographers or extremely serious amateurs, reviewers say, and it offers
capabilities most people will never need. But if you're looking for the
best-possible photo output from a flatbed scanner, reviewers agree this is one
to seriously consider. Among its professional-grade features are wet mounting,
which uses fluid to help hide scratches and dust; two lenses, which shift
depending on the resolution you want; and other high-end optics, such mirrors
and flatbed glass, that reviewers say contribute to top notch image quality.

Ease of use

Easier
than you'd expect for a professional scanner. Most users say they have
no trouble installing and using the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro, though most
say they have to download updated drivers and software after installing it. A
few reviewers note that the optional drivers included in the SilverFast software
that comes with the scanner produce better results than the Epson drivers
themselves. Some users note incompatibility problems that later buyers say have
been solved. Wet mount scanning is not for the faint of heart, reviewers agree,
but they note that it's no more difficult on the V750-M Pro than it would be with
any other pro-grade scanner.

Durability

Surprisingly
average for a high-end machine. Some
users report making thousands of scans on the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro scanner
without issues. Others say they've had to return their units more than once in
a year, though in those cases it's mostly manufacturing defects rather than a
breakdown. The slide holder, as always, is the most delicate part, and users
say it's easy to break. A few say they are glad they purchased an extended
warranty.

Warranty

A good
warranty, and good service. Epson's
Perfection V750-M Pro scanner comes with the one-year limited warranty that
seems to be standard among better-quality scanners. Those users who need it
report no issues with having it honored. However, some say they're happy they
purchased an extended warranty when they bought the scanner, as some problems
can crop up over time.

M. David Stone puts the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro through its
paces, saying the scans are very high quality and that the fluid mount works
for hiding scratches in black and white film. The driver Epson ships with the
scanner may not work as well as the alternative SilverFast driver also bundled
with the scanner, he says.

David Brooks compares the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro scanner with
a professional Konica film scanner and the Epson Perfection V700 Photo (Est. $630),
finding that the scanning quality of the V750-M Pro is comparable to the
high-end film scanner. He praises the fluid mount capability, and he compares
the output of old and new slides, transparencies and prints.

Photographer Ron Martinsen reviews the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro
scanner, finding it easy to set up and useful for a variety of tasks from the
simple (photocopies) to the very complex (digitizing his negatives). He does a
thorough review, comparing the results among the standard drivers and the
optional SilverFast program.

In this hands-on review by UK tech site Expert Reviews, Kevin
Carter compares the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro to its less-expensive cousin,
the V700, finding that it produces only slightly better scans. He awards 4 out

scanning at enthusiast prices.
